operation to hard working, con
scientious employees. Clyde and
Teena Fuoss, are the berdspersons
who see to the care, feeding and
milking of this outstanding herd.
A great deal of exacting detail is
demanded of the Fuoss’s because
of the complieations brought about
by the embryo transfer work.
Health care must be closely
monitored, points out Wolff,
making the Fuoss’s indispensible
to the operation.
Wolff and the Fuoss’s do all the
preparation of the donor cows and
recipients. Hormone injections
must be properly timed to assure
the synchronization of the
recipient with the donor.
Flushing of embryos is done
every two weeks on the average,
although there is no set schedule.
So there is constantly certain cows
that need to be closely watched. On
the' average 60 flushes are per
formed each year, but that number,
tends to grow each year.
Bill Pettit, D.V.M., of Vin
centown, N.J., flushes the embryos
from the donor cows and implants
them the same day into recipient
heifers. The flushing procedure is
performed in the tie stall barn.
Embryos are implanted into
heifers in a specially equipped ET
room on the heifer farm where
Wolff lives.
“Basically we have three options
of what to do with the embryos,”
said Wolff. “We can implant them
here, we can freeze them, or we
can export them fresh.”
Very few of the embryos are sold
presently in the United States,
because of the relative expense
compared to buying live animals.
But ET has opened up new
